Dean Smith - Confirmed

[dave.woodhall]

Players arguing isn't a major deal in scheme of things especially the context
Mings was super annoyed by McGinn inept defending as SJM didn't jump with Partey for the goal and not only that he was in the way of Mings who would have cleared the ball.
So having cross words makes sense. To me it would be more concerning if they were arguing without substance.

I feel Smith is totally safe in the job. He knows the task in hand and he'll address our losing.
The good thing is Deano won't allow another performance like what we witnessed on Friday again, so vs West Ham will do everything in his coaching power to get 3pts.

Keep the faith!
In Dean Smith we trust
Up the Villa

Do you not think he should have coached the team not to have a repeat of the last 10 minutes against Wolves? Instead, we got all the usual shit about "good response in training" and then Smith kept the same idiotic formation, and the team served up *that*. It looks like the atmosphere in the team is rotten, and he had a player swearing at him during the match. In Smith I do not trust, at all. Time to go.

How many times have you said that now? Every time you were wrong.

Eh? Which bit is wrong?

Every time you've said he should be sacked over the past three years.

Perhaps if he had of been sacked we wouldn’t have gone on bad runs, almost got relegated - we were basically down, stayed up through Terry sorting the defence, Jack and luck , wouldn’t  have a rubbish second half to last season and a better start to this season.

Every time you've said he should be sacked over the past three years.

You've never questioned him at all in that time of course.

[dave.woodhall]

Perhaps we might also not have stayed up, got to a cup final, played some of the best football any of us have ever seen and less than a month ago beaten two teams who would have gone top of the league if they'd won.

[Sexual Ealing]

It's a big, big assumption to think that Terry sorted the defence. He was there when they were terrible.

I've never said he was perfect, I've never say he hasn't made a mistake, I've never said he should be sacked.

Of course we have had some awesome results.  But I’ve seen enough to suggest that he isn’t good enough to knit these performances together to be consistent enough.  His inability to change something if needed quickly enough once the games starts is almost impossible to comprehend.   

[Villan82]

I am sick of the bad runs. I know mid-table sides are inconsistent but even the championship year we got into an horrific run of form. We have these long stretches of defeats. He isn't good at finding a way to scrape a point out of a bad game and/or find a formula to win when we have key players out. To come away with the points we usually have to fire on all cylinders.

I distinctly recall you questioning whether he should stay around Christmas in the first season back. But whatever helps you sleep at night.

Yup it was Terry's job to sort the defence for his entire stay here but somehow he only bothered when we were about to be relegated and we should be grateful for that. Ming boggles.

Really? That's news to me.

[Risso]

It's impossible to know what direct effect coaches have. When we had our terrific start last season, it was Shakespeare getting some of the plaudits. I think it's fair to say that given the last few games, MacPhee has got his work cut out.

Wasn’t it because of the Covid break.   Had time to drill the players and it seemed to pay off when the matches resumed.

Allow me to jog your memory then:

"There are serious problems at Villa Park. The new signings aren’t making the improvement that was expected, some of the old stagers are in poor form and the manager seems gripped in the latter stages of inertia. That means some serious decisions have to be made."

It's not a crime to question the manager Dave. We all want what's best for Villa.

And where in all that fine prose does it say the manager should be sacked?
